I ran a yum update yesterday and got the new kernel and other goodies, and I've rebooted and all seems to be well.
Except, I just tried to run Firefox for the first time, and it wants a new jre (6.16). Now that's fine, except that I have a recollection of needing the 32-bit jre the last time I did this, but that's not working. I'm pulling down the 64-bit version, but I'm wondering if I need both, which, IIRC, does not work, or which one of the two?
(I _am_ running the x86_64 OS and most apps.)
What bothers me is that I've tried both, and apparently neither one works (!!!!).
I installed by downloading the bin file (self-extracting rpm), and then running the bin with sudo.
Where did I go wrong?

Solved: The installation does not automatically update the mozilla plugins directory, which (apparently) must be updated manually.
Foo.
